Fun with Flat and Legos

This is a picture of me and a paper cut-out of Flat Stanley that my teacher Mrs. C gave me. He and I are at the Williamston library at the Lego class. The Lego thing that is holding him up is the one I made. I call it the "Flying motor cycle/bulldozer". Long story about the bulldozer but the flying part is different. It doesn't have any wings, just a propeller.  It can pretty much only go one direction while its flying.  ~James

Flat Goes to Impression 5

This is a picture of my brother, sister, my friend Andrew, and my brother's friend.  Me and the gang were at I5.  I was excited to spend some time with Andrew because he lives quite a ways away and I don't get to see him a lot.  He is such a good friend because we have been friends since preschool.  He really likes I5 too.

Flat Meets My Pets

These are my two pets, Abby and Tucker.  Flat thinks that Tucker slobbers a lot and Abby has two very small ears.  In this picture Tucker was biting Abby's tongue for some reason.  Abby is the oldest and Tucker is the youngest, but Tucker can take her down. 

This is my brother's pet frog Swimmy and toad Jumpy.  Swimmy is a Michigan Green Frog.  We got him from my brother's friend's backyard.  They had to put Swimmy in a box because they were collecting them.  We call him Swimmy because he likes to stay in the water.  Jumpy is a Fowler Toad. They eat crickets.  Jumpy likes to hide under a log and Swimmy jumps on top of the log.

Flat Goes to the Hamburg Fun Festival

This picture is at the top of the Ferris Wheel at the Hamburg Fun Festival near where my grandparents live.  I didn't take this picture because I really don't like Ferris Wheels.

I'm getting my arm bitten off by a shark.  Flat was screaming his head off.  That would explain why I am missing an arm.  Just kidding...it was an exhibit about sharks and a shark show, but a lot of the sharks were sleeping.

Me , my brother, and my cousin JD who likes tackling people.

Bubbles! (Flat Goes to the Library)

We went to the Williamston Library to watch this man is apparently called "The Bubble Maker". One picture he made a star inside a bubble.  In the other picture he was trying to make an ice cream cone.
The coolest thing about it is that he could make bubble do weird things.  He made one of them into a spiral.  Flat had a good time.

Flat Goes Rock Hunting

We went to the Mining Company in Williamston across from Twister's.   The big rock that we are leaning on is a big rose quartz from Brazil.  I bought two Brazilian emeralds.  They lady there was nice and gave my sister an agate heart.

Ice cream at Twister's and I'm sure why we have this picture here  but I know I like ice cream.

In this picture we are digging for rocks and stuff in our back yard while Abby is making holes.  For some reason we had gardening tools and a hammer.  This was fun because in the picture below, I am holding a yellow quartz crystal that my brother found.  Remember that whenever you go rock hunting that you have gloves because you get really dirty and that you have a pick ax to break open the rocks so you can find stuff.

Flat Goes to Harris Nature Center

Flat and I went to the Harris Nature (with my brother and sister with the broken hand).  In the top right picture, my mom calls this "We're off to the Wizard of Oz."  The other pictures are of nature.  The top left one is fungi, I believe.  The bottom left is a dragonfly.  The bottom right is these purple flowers that the Nature Center told my mom is actually an invasive species called Dames Rocket and it's in the Garlic Mustard family.  Flat complained about the bugs.
